Take Me as I Am, O Savior (EN 2404)

Take Me as I Am, O Savior

Isa.53.5

Take me as I am, O Savior

Better I can never be;

Thou alone canst bring me nearer

Self but draws me far from Thee.

I can never, I can never, I can never

But within Thy wounds be saved,

But within Thy wounds be saved.

Wearied of the desert journey

Which through pain and peril goes,

I have failed, alone, to conquer

E’en the meanest of my foes.

But the strongest, but the strongest, but the strongest,

Flies before Thy glorious Name,

Flies before Thy glorious Name.

Calvary’s blood the weak exalteth

More than conquerors to be;

Calvary’s blood the strong abaseth

Myriad hosts to bow to Thee.

O revive me, O revive me, O revive me

With a breeze from Calvary,

With a breeze from Calvary.

I will trust Thy might unmeasured

Great the work that marks Thy way;

Thou hast death, and Thou hast Satan,

Thou hast hell beneath Thy sway;

Hill of Calv’ry! Hill of Calv’ry! Hill of Calv’ry!

I shall praise for evermore.
